Controversial Former Queensland senator, Fraser Anning, is reportedly facing bankruptcy over unpaid debts to Adelaide-based bank, Bendigo Bank.

According to The ABC, Anning owes $185,000 - a debt that is related to Anning’s investment in a failed agribusiness scheme.

ABC reports it’s unknown whether the politician, who made headlines following his remarks in the aftermath of the Christchurch massacre, will be in the country for a court hearing on 17 September.

Anning is rumoured to currently be in the US visiting family, including his two daughters who live in the US full-time.

It’s the second time Bendigo Bank has sought a bankruptcy order against Anning, with Anning settling the first case in October 2017, a month before he entered parliament.
